mid-day had reported back in October 2019 that Akshay Kumar is in talks with Aditya Chopra to play the antagonist in Dhoom 4. A trade source had revealed, "Akshay's larger-than-life villain act in 2.0 [2018] convinced Adi that he would be the perfect fit for the next instalment of Dhoom. The duo has had some meetings, including the first round of narration. The role is of a suave underworld don and is much more nuanced than the villains of the previous editions. If all goes well, Akshay and Aditya will make an announcement by the year-end. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra may not appear in the fourth part while beauty queen Manushi Chhillar may play the female lead."
And now, according to film trade analyst Atul Mohan, the news is indeed true. Here's what he tweeted:
A highly placed source has revealed that #AkshayKumar has been confirmed for #Dhoom4 u00f0u009fu008fu008du00efu00b8u008f. Let's wait for official announcement soon.
